What are the customs of Mongolian welcoming guests?

1, Mongolians, whether acquaintances or strangers, always greet guests warmly when they meet: "He is a good listener" (hmm), and then the host puts his right hand on his chest, bows slightly, invites the guests into the yurt, and the whole family, old and young, sits around the guests and asks questions, just like at home.

2. entertain guests at ordinary times. After drinking milk tea, the generous host always puts sweet butter, milk skin, mellow milk wine, crispy fried fruit, fried rice, milk tea, cheese and "hand-picked meat" with unique grassland flavor in front of the guests and invites them to have a drink feast.

If the host has special respect for the guests, he often puts milk jugs and hip jugs on Hada's top, and sometimes sings some welcome and friendly songs to persuade the guests to drink. The guest took a sip, and the host was very happy.

3. When you meet a banquet, please invite special distinguished guests or festivals, and often put a whole sheep mat. Mongolians call it "black tea", while others call it "Hughes" and "Buhuli". When guests say goodbye, they often send their families away, point out the way and repeatedly say "Bai Yitai Day!" On the 11th, Wu Taicha Reya (I hope we can meet again happily), "A Mu Day, Saiyin, Yaba!" Have a safe trip.

4. present hada. Hada is a Tibetan transliteration. It is often used to welcome, give gifts, worship God, pay New Year greetings and celebrate to show respect and congratulations. This etiquette has a long history. According to Kyle Poirot's travel notes, Mongolians "give each other gifts made of gold, silver, jade and white silk during the Spring Festival holiday".

5. Pass me the snuff bottle. This is an ancient custom of Mongols. When visiting Mongolian yurts, hospitable hosts often come up with a small pot as delicate as a porcelain vase, which is a snuff bottle with snuff inside.
